Nomad Beach Resort

We had an amazing holiday at Nomad Beach Resort! The hotel is beautifully decorated, the rooms are surrounded by mature gardens giving absolute privacy from other guests and the beach passers-by. Special thanks to Linda for her attention to detail and being very accommodating. The reception team: Philo, Veronika and the other girls (apologies, forgot their names) were lovely. Our family suite was always immaculately clean by the housekeeping team, they did a fantastic job! Loved the flowers in the room and the many bottles of fresh water. Great room service. I’d like to mention Joseph for his outstanding service, always with a smile! Every day at lunch time he brought seafood pizzas to our own garden terrace facing the beach. The restaurant menu has a broad selection, we had the opportunity to taste most dishes. Very fresh food, well presented and delicious! Thank you Winnie and Joseph for making our dinners a special time at the restaurant. Thank you everyone, can’t wait to go back!

Tired from travelling, it was a bit of a shock to get the wrong room - which was really nice but we had booked a beach cottage. A short wait and we were shown to the family version of the beach cottage which was palatial and all was well with the world. It is the mark of a business how they correct problems and this place came through with a smile from all involved. Reception was staffed by lovely people. We loved it here and chilled for a week after a hectic 10 days in Victoria Falls and on safari. The beach is insta ready with glorious soft white sand and the grounds (including the surrounding jungle) was teeming with wildlife. During our week here we saw a load of monkeys for example and hatching turtles. The housekeeping staff were thorough, the restaurant staff very friendly and the food was really good and tasty. Were there problems? Not serious ones. We were full board and found a good variety of things to eat but if we had been here for two weeks the same menu for both lunch and dinner may have got repetitive. We ate at the beach restaurant. Portions were generous and sometimes I would have liked something lighter, maybe a sandwich or similar. The staff were always smiling and attentive but service was sometimes slow, especially at lunch, as the place could get busy. Lucky we were there to chill. Sort of outside the hotels control, the hawkers were persistent. We liked to walk for half an hour on the beach in the morning before it got too hot. It was not necessarily peaceful. I feel for people trying to make a living but a no thanks didn’t always work.

I just returned home from the Nomad beach resort . It was a wonderful stay. The staff were amazing. The grounds were beautiful. The beach was lovely. As a single woman travelling with a child, the staff ensured I felt safe. It was my son's birthday when we were there. The sang happy birthday, gave him and cake and a gift too. The staff really went out of their way to make him feel special. I would return to this resort in a heartbeat.

I am staying here with my family. I have 2 young kids. Not a good experience. Too expensive as per what they are offering you. Rooms are very small and have lots and lots of lizards, ants and spiders. Cleaning is not on point in rooms as well as other parts of property, they don't have any kids play area or any such activities for kids. Rooms are not as shown in photos.

The resort is beautiful and well maintained. It’s clear that management invests in what truly matters: the cottages, beds, bathrooms, and in-room products are all excellent. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and refined — a perfect setting for a relaxing getaway. That said, I’d like to share a small complaint that I believe reflects something larger about the guest experience. It’s not a major issue, but it stood out. I stayed for three nights and, the evening before my departure, I asked if a late checkout would be possible, as my flight was in the afternoon. I didn’t have a fixed time in mind — just as late as they could allow. The staff said it probably wouldn’t be possible but asked me to check again in the morning. The next day, it was confirmed: I would need to check out at 10 a.m. due to incoming guests. However, I was welcome to use a day room and the resort facilities, which I appreciated. That morning, I checked out at 10 a.m. and moved my belongings to the day room. After a beach walk, I returned around 11:30 a.m. and noticed that no one had yet started cleaning my old room. I popped back in to grab a used beach towel and a half-full bottle of water I’d left behind. Curious, I sat on a garden day bed just outside, wondering when housekeeping would arrive. They eventually showed up at 12:36 p.m. Of course, I understand that a late checkout is a courtesy, not a right. But it’s in these small, human touches that a hotel can go from good to exceptional. Allowing me to stay in the room just two hours longer — especially since it sat untouched until then — would have made a real difference in my final day, at no cost to the hotel. These kinds of thoughtful gestures are what elevate hospitality. And in a resort that gets so much right, I’d hope the staff might consider more flexibility in such simple, meaningful ways.
